Digital BW, The Print

I'm afraid this is becoming an aggrivation with a lot of these new
fiber gloss papers, especially with the HP Z printers. I absolutely
love the Innova Satin and Ultrasmooth Gloss but even on the large
Epson printers I'm seeing hairline scratching. It is something they
better work on quickly if they plan to keep charging these kinds of
prices. But, it will move forward and everyone seems to be developing
their own version. Is the Hahnemuhle bartya in beta testing?
